Shaking the Tree [Video]

Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the treeSouma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree

Waiting your time, dreaming of a better lifeWaiting your time, you're more than just a wifeYou don't want to do what your mother has doneShe has doneThis is your life, this new life has begunIt's your day - a woman's dayIt's your day - a woman's day

Turning the tide, you are on the incoming waveTurning the tide, you know you are nobody's slave[ 1989 version - Find your Brothers and sisters ][ 1990 version - Find your sisters and brothers ]Who can hear all the truth in what you sayThey can support you when you're on your wayIt's your day - a woman's dayIt's your day - a woman's day

Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the treeSouma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the treeSouma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree

[ extra lyrics from 1989 12" remix ]

There's nothing to gain when there's nothing to be lostThere's nothing to gain if you stay behind and count the costMake the decision that you can be who you can beYou can beTasting the fruit come to the Liberty TreeIt's your day - a woman's dayIt's your day - a woman's day

[ end of extra lyrics from 12" remix ]

Changing your ways, changing those surrounding youChanging your ways, more than any man can doOpen your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you healMaybe he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel

You had to be so strongAnd you do nothing wrongNothing wrong at allWe're gonna to break it downWe have to shake it downShake it all around

Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the treeSouma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the treeSouma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree
